Street Lighting: How to Report a Fault in Your Street?

Faulty street lighting is more than just an aesthetic issue; it directly impacts the safety of pedestrians and drivers, as well as the general security of a neighborhood. Reporting a fault is quick and easy if you know who to contact, and in major cities, response times are typically within 48 hours.

Who to Report to?

The authority in charge depends on your city. In Belgrade, it is JKP 'Javno osvetljenje'. In Novi Sad or Niš, reports are handled by specific municipal departments. The obavesti.rs portal has aggregated all direct contacts and online reporting links for all major cities in Serbia to save you time.

What Info is Needed?

When reporting, be ready to provide: the exact address, the lamp post number (usually found 2 meters up on the post), and a description of the fault (flickering, completely out, or physical damage to the post).

Community Safety

Well-lit streets reduce the risk of crime and vandalism. If an entire street is dark, it's likely a breaker issue in the distribution cabinet, which usually gets top priority for repairs.
